Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 16 servings
Ingredients: Flour: 300g (1.8 cups); Salt: a pinch; Baking powder: 1/2 tsp; Vanilla sugar: 1 tsp; Butter: 100g (3.5 oz); Sour cream (or natural yogurt): 200g (7.0 oz); Egg yolk: 1; Almonds: 200g (7.0 oz); Egg white: 1; Sugar: 2 tbsp; Powdered sugar: 5 tbsp

Directions

1. Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and vanilla sugar. Add the butter, sour cream (or yogurt), and egg yolk. Mix until a soft dough forms. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes.

2. Step

Grind the almonds in a blender until fine. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg white and sugar until combined. Mix in the ground almonds to form the filling.

3. Step

Divide the rested dough into 4 equal parts. Roll out each portion into a circular shape using a rolling pin. Cut the circle into smaller triangular pieces (like pizza slices). Place a small amount of the almond filling on the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the triangle into a crescent shape, starting from the wide end.

4. Step

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the rolled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown. While still warm, place the pastries in a bag with powdered sugar. Shake gently to coat evenly.
